Knuckle Push-Up Against Wall

Positioning

1. Stand close to a wall: Position yourself about an arm's length away from the wall.
2. Hand placement: Form fists by curling your fingers into your palms. Bring your knuckles to the wall at shoulder height.
3. Body alignment: Keep your body straight from head to heels; feet should be shoulder-width apart for stability.

Movement

1. Begin the push-up:
- Slowly bend your elbows and lower your body towards the wall, keeping your elbows close to your torso.
- Maintain tension in your core to avoid sagging or arching your back.

2. Push back to starting position:
- Once your chest is close to the wall (but not touching), push through your knuckles to straighten your arms, returning to the starting position.

3. Repetitions:
- Aim for 8-12 repetitions, focusing on controlled movements.

Tips for Beginners

- Start with a comfortable range of motion; you can adjust how far from the wall you stand to make the exercise easier or harder.
- Keep your breathing steady: inhale as you lower and exhale as you push back up.
- Ensure your wrists are aligned with your knuckles to prevent discomfort.
